Stugvik, evening

Pleasant sail from Torrø, only 12 nm, but the sun shone, most of the time, and matresses on deck did not get splashed. Tied up to a SXK buoy, one of four, with the place to myself initially. Later three more boats arrived, one large with a dissappearing couple on board, one small, with solo sailor, and one middling, with father and four girls on board. Obviously a well-sailed family. They have been very active, even a dip, (13,5 degrees) before dinner, and a canoe race afterward. Quite the entertainment.

 The evening sun, though not warming, is shining well, and with the wind now almost nothing, all the sounds of nature are carrying over the water. A cuckoo, loudly very close by, unseeable even with binoculars, suddenly decided to fly over to the other side of the bay. Seldom birdwatching experience. Then a flock of canada geese, majestically slow-swimming past and quietly chuckling between themselvs, with three ducks in attendance. They disturbed the heron in the shallows, who didn’t appreciate his dinner-potential dissappearing. Small fish are rising and all is very peaceful. 

Time to bring the matresses, and myself, in, it is getting chilly.

Alls well, from SailorJohn
